Seven Indians' pitchers, including starter Zach McAllister and Diasuke Matsuzaka, limited the Reds to only one hit -- a sixth-inning single by former Indians' infielder Jason Donald.

McAllister faced seven batters, allowing only a walk.

Matsuzaka, in camp on a minor-league contract, hit the first batter he faced and got a double play grounder on the next pitch. He faced seven batters, walking one.

In Phoenix, meanwhile, Carlos Santana and Ezequiel Carrera homered and Scott Kazmir, Trevor Bauer and David Huff pitched two scoreless innings each as the Indians beat Milwaukee, 7-4 , in a split-squad game Sunday at Maryvale Baseball Park.

Santana's two-run homer in the third pulled the Indians into a 4-4 tie. The Indians took a 6-4 lead with two runs in the fifth as Mike McDade hit an RBI single and prospect Tony Wolters scored from third on a wild pitch.

Carrera made it 7-4 with homer in the sixth.

Carlos Carrasco, who missed last season with Tommy John surgery, started and gave up four runs in the first. Kazmir, Bauer and Huff followed by combining for six scoreless innings.

The Indians play Oakland on the road Monday. Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez will pitch for the Tribe.
